Who We Are

Keith O’Brien M.Arch.

Keith grew up on the shores of Lake Superior, and now lives in downtown Toronto. He has a Master’s Degree in Architecture from University of Toronto and 20+ years experience in Custom Residential Design and Construction.  

With experience living in a rural waterfront community in Northern Ontario, and life in the big city, Keith is personally and professionally familiar with the opportunities and challenges at both ends of the spectrum.

While personally gravitating toward the modern, he also admires the traditional, and has a deep respect for the spirit of the designers that defined each age.

Keith was a Varsity rower during his undergrad at McGill and through is Master’s at UofT. Retired from his rowing career, Keith has found a new athletic passion for surfing, and looks forward to any opportunity to practice. Keith is also an opera singer, and still makes the occasional appearance on stage.

Keith enjoys fixing and building all manor of things. This skill keeps him close to the various systems at work in a house, and full of healthy respect for the challenges facing those that have to bring to life the things that he dreams up on paper.
